From the Baltimore Evening News"
THE MARYLAND INSTITUTE FINE OLD
BUILDING IN A BRAN NEW DREss.-Persons who
have passed by the Maryland Institute lately
have been struck by the transformation in the
appearance of the building produced by the re-
painting of the entire structurein attractive and
tasteful colors. One of the officials of the Insti
tute stated to NeOs reporter that the renovation
of the building was accomplished by means of
the appropriation recently made by the Mayor
and City Council of Baltimore. The work was
done under the personal supervision and direc-
ton of Mr. Theodore Oster, inspector of building,
and only the very best material was used. The
paint used was that manufactured by the New
Jersey Enamel Paint Company, the excellence of
which has become known to the public through
the fact that it has been also used upon the Amer
lean and San buildings, Ford's Grand Opera
House, the Carrollton Hotel and many other con-
spicuous structures Mr.. Oster was requested
by the president of the Institute and several Of
the directors to use this paint when the appro-
priation was made. He was at first disinclined
to acquiesce in the suggestion, owing to the fact
that he did not believe in ready-mixed paints
His opposition arose from the fact that he had
experienced the worthlessness of many articles
put upon the market under the name of ready
mixed paints, some of which were limitations of
the article suggested by the Institute officials,
and none of which were satisfactory to gentle
man so thoroughly capable of judging the excel
lence of paint as Mr.. Oster. When, however,
his attention had been called to the buildings
mentioned above, and he had seen practical
demonstration of the qualities of this paint he
consented, with his usual courtesy, to the wish
of those who had urged him to use the article,
and the result has more than equalled the antici-
pations of those who had urged the use Of this
paint
Mr.. c. P. Knight, No. I'll E. Lombard street,
new number), who is the general agent here,
stated to a NeaCs reporter that he had been sell
ing the paint since 1871, and that in not single
instance had it failed to give satifaction to his
customers. He also stated that sample cards
showing the different colors were furpished
gratis on application to him by mail or in person.
The numerous large buildings upon which the
paint has been used are an ample guarantee OF
its exceptional merit, and it will pay anyone who
proposes to do any painting to consult Mr.. Knight
before having the work done.

A New Kind of Scales.

Did you ever think what old fashioned things
scales are? They are not much changed now from
what they were in the days of the patriarchs. A
Kansas man, thinking there must be something
better, has tried his hand and believes that his
invention will revolutionize the weighing business
The scales consist of simple balance resting
on a nickel point supported by standard about
eighteen inches high. There are two scales in
the balance arm. One denotes the weight, and
the total cost of the article weighed the other
the unit of price, which is designated by sliding
weight. From this sliding weight is suspended
the scoop slab to contain the article to be weigh
ed. By this scale the total cost of any article to
be weighed is given. For instance, if seven and
half pounds of butter are placed on the SCALE
and the price is thirteen and a half cents pound
the scales show at that the total cost is 1.014
Or if purchaser wishes sixteen pounds of tea.
the price of which was seventy five cents pound,
the weight would be fixed, the sliding one al
seventy five cents, the other one at the sixteen
cents mark on the computing scale. Then, when
enough tea had been put into the scoop to cause
the scale to balance, that quantity would be the
sixteen cents worth desired.

THE NEW JERSEY ENAMEL PAINT.-Ths arti-
Gle has been on the market in Baltimore since
1871 and is handled by the sole general agent, Mr.
Chas. P. Knight, No. I'll East Lombard street,
NEW number). 1t has been used extensively on
public and private buildings and the best testi-
monial as to the general excellence of the article
is the fact that it has never failed to give entire
satisfaction. None but the best materials are
used in compromising the Enamel Paint and
wherever it has been applied the general excel
lence of the work and beauty OF finish show for
themselves, and any person of experience needs
no better evidence as to its utility and value.
These paints-all colors which are shown upon
sample cards-are put up in gallon cans and
mixed ready for USE which is great advantage
as compared with the ordinary paints in the
matter of handling as well as of applying them.
The Enamel Paint is of uniform quality and Mr..
knight the sole agent in Baltimore, handles i'm
mense quantities Of it, showing that it is not new
to the public, but is really stable article, the
demand for it increasing with each year. Many
of the finest buildings in Baltimore have been
covered with this paint, and where properly ap-
piled it has never failed to give entire satsfac-
ton. The residence Of III. G.. Longnecker, in
Towsontown, has lately had two coats of this
paint applied to it and the manner in which it is
covered and the excellence of the finish speak for
themselves. Those who propose doing any paint
ing are invited to inspect this house and see for
themselves that everything we have said about
the Enamel Paint is facts. We have no hesita-
ton in recommending it,

up his old deeds, and among them he found one
dated 1856 conveying the farm to one Casper
Shoaf and he is now satisfied that the initials OF
the she'll of the tortoise are those of this former
owner of the farm. How old it was when thus
marked 1875 years ago cannot be known. The
tortoise was again set at liberty by Mr.. Kepler
and in few hours thereafter had disappeared"

From the Baltimore "American."
Owing to the want of space, produced by the
great pressure upon our colurans in reporting
the proceedings of the different committees rel
alive to the reunion of the Society of the Army
of the Potomac, recently held in Baltimore, we
have been unable to call the attention OF our
readers and the public generally to the new
spring dress of The AMERICAN building, except
to announce we had given the contract to Mr. q.
p. Knight, No. I'll East Lombard street new
number). The paint used on the building is the
liquid enamel paint, made by the New jersey
Enamel Paint Company, which has been sold IN
this market for fourteen years. and endorsed by
our late Mr.. Charles G. Fulton and by many rep
resentative men of our city, such as Mr.. John 3.
Gilman, president of Second National Bank; Mr..
Jacob Hartman, president of the Metropolitan
Savings Bank and Washington Fire Insurance
Company: Thomas j. Myer of Thomas }. Myer
& Co.; j. ID. Mallory, of Reuter- u Mallory; Arm
strong, Gator & Co. and many others. The selec-
ton and combination of colors were painted on
a drawing of the building and submitted to Gen.
Agnus for his approval in advance of the work,
and we are most happy to say they have come up
to our expectations, and we cordially invite the
public to inspect the same. For seashore work,
which is so very severe on paint, 1T has some
splendid endorsements and we suggest Tor the
benefit of our patrons, to write Mr.. Knight Tor

Calcined Oyster Shells as q Remedy for
Cancer

In a recent number of the Lancet, DR.. Peter
Hood, of London, refers to communication of his
published in the same journal nearly twenty years
ago. on the value of calcium carbonate in the form
of calcined oyster shells as means of arresting
the growth of cancerous tumors. In case which
he then reported, that of lady nearly eighty
years old, the growth sloughed away and left a
healthy surface after course of the remedy, as
much as would lie on shilling being taken once
or twice day in little warm water or tea. He
now reports another of scirrhus of the breast
in the wife of physician, in which the treatment
was followed by an arrest of the growth and a
cessation of the pain, the improvement having now
lasted for years, and recrudescence having thus
far occurred. He urges that the remedy can do
no harm, and that the prima facie evidence in its
favor is stronger than that on which, at DR.. Clay g
recommendation, the profession lately displayed
an extraordinary eagerness to try Chan turpen.
cases of scirrhus, and insists that no benefit should
be looked for in less than three months.

Marriage Among Reformed Episcopalians

The General Council of the Reformed Episcopal
Church at Philadelphia, considered the new canon
on marriage and divorce. 1t is as follows:
"No minister of this Church shall solemnize
matrimony in any case where the divorced wife OF
husband of either party is still living but this
shall not apply in cases of adultery or where par
ties divorced seek to be reunited"
Bishop Stevens offered an amendment provid-
ing that no minister shall solomuize matrimony
when either of the persons to be marreds divorced
unless such divorce shall have been caused by the
violation of the seventh commandment, or unless
the other party to the divorce be dead or married
again, and no minister or church shall recognize
as vailed the remarriage of divorced person, ex-
cept as above permitted.

A Simple Question Easily Answered.

A correspondent is informed that the phrase
yours very truly" or Every truly yours" is fol-
wed at the close of letter with q comma, but
} comma is used to seperate "yours" from the
her words, the connection being too close to per-
it it. The words "Dear sir" at the beginning of

ms use comma, but a period would be mad
